I told my mother I think they are showing off and she agreeded with me and she said that it was foolish of him (my brother) and his wife to buy a 17 yr old a convertible sports car the girl is not working and all she does all day is go to school and hang out with friends . She is not being taught any responsibility and when my mother talked to my brother about it his response to my mother was well she has plenty of time to be an adult and worry about bills and working right now I want her to be a teenager and have fun .. my mother and I were both floored . It is not as if this kid is responsible or does anything to deserve such a present . Her grades are not even that good and she has no manners at all and I dont even think she said thank you for the car .I think my brother and his wife are going to be sorry in a few years raising her and her brother so spoiled . Her brother on the other hand gets barely anything but an atta boy and good job and this poor boy is always home doing the cleaning and the cooking sometimes too while his sister sits on her butt talking on her cell phone to her friends and her bedroom is beyond a night mare . I mean what do you all think bad idea on the covertible sports car yeah or nay ? All of the family on this side think it is a bad idea and that girl is a spoiled rotten brat and will continue to be .....
Wow, I hope your brother and mom don't sit around judging YOU that way all day. But you know they do, right?
Mind your own business. If you don't like someone's parenting choices, then don't do them.
A big AMEN. None of your business OP. Think whatever you want (and I agree with the poster who said it isn't the safest choice for a teen), but zip your lips.
I think somebody is jealous. MYOB. Did your brother ask you to pay for the car?
